The Battle of Goose Green was an engagement between British and Argentine forces on 28 and 29 May 1982, during the Falklands War. Located on East Falkland's central isthmus, the settlement of Goose Green was the site of an airfield. Argentine forces were in a well-defended position, within striking distance of San Carlos Water, where the British task force had made its amphibious landing. After the attack began in the early hours of 28 May 1982, the 2 Para advance was stalled by fixed trenches with interlocking fields of fire. The commander was killed during a solo charge on an enemy machine-gun post. The victory at Goose Green accomplished the political purpose of sustaining public support in Britain by a badly needed victory and the success marked a turning point in the campaign. From this point onwards, the British forces were to retain the initiative in all successive battles.
